(OTCBB: QMCI)

Overview


An OTCPicks.com Corporate Profile
QuoteMedia, Inc.
 

QuoteMedia, Inc. (OTCBB: QMCI) is a leading developer and distributor of streaming market data services to the financial industry. The Company offers the full spectrum of web-delivered, web page-embedded and fully integrated static financial data products. However, their flagship application is Quotestream™, an unparalleled web-based streaming online portfolio management system that delivers instant “Real-Time” market data to both the consumer and corporate markets.

During 2004, QuoteMedia introduced Quotestream™ Wireless, a breakthrough application for data enabled mobile phones (SmartPhones & Wireless Handhelds) that facilitate streaming wireless market data and integrated online trading links for prompt market trade execution.

QuoteMedia develops and licenses its software and dynamic data products to individuals and corporate customers, including brokerage firms, financial institutions, mutual fund companies, online information portals, media outlets, public companies, corporate Intranets, brokers, financial advisors and individual investors. A growing percentage of the Company’s clients reflect some of the largest banks, clearing firms, research houses and NYSE listed companies in North America. However, QuoteMedia is generating fee revenues by solidifying Business-to-Business relationships with companies of every size.

The Company licenses interactive stock research instruments such as streaming Real-Time Quotes, Market Watch lists, News, Static Charts, Interactive Java Charts, Volume Most Actives, Percentage Gainers and Losers, Option Chains, NASDAQ/OTC Level II, SEC Filings, Insider Reports, Market Indices, Market Stats, Market Commentary, Stock Tickers, Multi-Channel Quote Modules, Portfolio Management Systems, Investor Relations Solutions, JavaScript Insert Component Data Services and XML Data Feeds to name a partial list of their content solutions.

QuoteMedia provides the most technically advantageous and cost-effective services of its kind. Furthermore, the Company’s real-time product upgrades also allow client sites to capitalize on their existing user base by offering enhanced fee-based consumer products that provide additional revenue for all involved.

QuoteMedia's uniquely embedded product capabilities provide a key competitive advantage to brokerage firms and corporate websites worldwide. The websites of brokerage firms and many other financial institutions are focusing their resources on user acquisition, user retention and increased traffic volume. Most website operators must continually offer compelling web tools and valuable content to attract and retain their customers and Internet users. Competitive forces have compelled them to acquire "sticky" branded tools and dynamic content/data or risk losing business in a very short period of time.

QuoteMedia has created a proprietary, scalable data distribution model that manages and streams information to multiple entities from data centers and content feeds across the Web. This means that a website can license comprehensive financial information applications for significantly reduced costs as compared to current complex and expensive financial information data feeds.

The company’s streaming market data application, Quotestream™, offers a broad range of live, up-to-the-moment financial information. From Streaming Stock Quotes, Interactive-Dynamic Charts, NASDAQ Level 2 Data, Company News, SEC Filings, Insider Reports, Time and Sales, Market Indices, Options, Corporate Research to literally every piece of critical financial stock data available. And they do it all with a small (under 150Kb) web-based application.

Quotestream’s revolutionary web delivered application can be fully integrated into existing user registration databases, portfolio systems and on-line trading systems with ease.

Marketing Strategy

Experts agree that appealing websites need a healthy mix of the three C's - content, commerce, and community. Businesses are seeking relevant content information to add to their websites in order to make their sites more dynamic and interactive.

Internet research suggests that an increasing number of online businesses are searching for Web-based tools that provide additional content and features to retain visitors or enhance "stickiness." A site's stickiness or ability to keep users for prolonged periods of time is key to building rich e-relationships.

Sixty-five percent of those who go online seek financial information. As a result, large portals, brokerage firms, banks and other institutions, as well as non-financial websites of all kinds, are increasingly eager to incorporate and expand financial information into their websites.

QuoteMedia's financial and news applications can be seamlessly integrated onto an existing website regardless of its size. Adding business information, trading and other financial capabilities to a company's website through QuoteMedia enables businesses to provide comprehensive news and financial content and retain their visitors without linking them to another site.

Through turnkey "branded" applications, clients can monitor investments in real-time through customizable portfolio trackers, research investment opportunities, watch live video and view streaming financial data. In order to develop a comprehensive financial web portal, a company could expend as much as $500,000.00 plus monthly content fees, which alone can reach $40,000.00 per month.

QuoteMedia's integrated financial applications and in-depth, business-related data offer a comprehensive and easily integrated solution at a significantly reduced cost than noted above.

Target Markets

QuoteMedia's products have a broad market base, targeting Web publishers worldwide and offering comprehensive financial applications at a fraction of traditional costs. Potential markets for QuoteMedia services include:

  • Web portals
  • Brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions
  • Public companies
  • Mutual fund companies
  • Publishers
  • Corporate intranets
